Network Shares Forgotten

Every time I want to open a file from within a program, the dialog box defaults to my 'Documents' folder. I then have to navigate to the afp network share folder again to open another file from the same folder. The dialog box seems to remember local folder positions but not network share folder positions. Any way I can force the dialog box to remember the last folder I was working in when using the saving and opening dialog boxes? Seems to happen on all programs I use.

It seems that I found a workaround for the problem (it is still a bug in my opinion):
here is my mounting-script that works well:
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to open home
tell application "Finder"
          try
                    mount volume "afp://username:password@mynas/share1"
  delay 1
                    mount volume "afp://username:password@mynas/share2"
          end try
end tell
tell application "Finder" to close home
I have it in the login-items.
It basicly does the following: Open the finder with the home-view. Then mount the two shares. After that closes the finder window.
(Replace username:password with the credentials needed to mount the share, "mynas" with the name or adress of the server and "share1", "share2" with the acutal name of the share.)
The 2 seconds delay at the beginning is not really needed I suppose but since the script works I'll leave it there.
In order to see the shares in the favorites section of the finders sidebar you have to drag them there once by hand. Afterwards they will show up there everytime the particular share is mounted.
The trick is to open the finder window before the shares are mounted. When the script does this they will appear in the sidebar. I think there is the problem. When the script mounts the share without displaying the finder window, they will not show up in the sidebar. It is a bug introduced with ML.

  • Multiple Users Mounting the Same Network Share?

    Hello, first time posting...
    I'll cut right to my main question: Is it possible, on OS X v10.3.9, for multiple users to simultaneously connect to the same network share?
    Here in my office, we have a single Mac that is used by multiple people throughout the day. It has two accounts on it, 'Communications' and 'Studio'. 'Communications' is an Admin account that is used by a co-worker who spends the most time on the Mac. He created the no-limitation 'Studio' account for the rest of us to use.
    There is a certain Windows network share that we both frequently use. We've found that if one user connects to the share first, the other user will not have access to it; using 'Go -> Connect to Server' will result in the share being greyed out in the list, and the share will not show up in the Finder.
    However, there is one way around it. If Studio connects to the share first and then Communications (the admin account) attempts to make a connection of it's own *through a shortcut on the dock*, then a 'clone' of the share will be created on Comm's desktop, with a "-1" after the name (though it might be some other number).
    This may sound like I've answered my own question, but what I'm looking for is a way for the non-Admin account to access the share after the Admin account already has (so that we don't have to log-in and disconnect Communications everytime Studio needs to manage files on the share).
    We have Thursby Software's DAVE installed on the Mac, but I'm not sure how it fits into all this.
    Any thoughts, suggestions or advice?
    Thanks.

    Bizarre. It turned out I could merge them, but only in to the mapped drive - L: - and only by explicitly clicking on the drive icon - if I typed L:\series in to dialog box it converted it back to \\nas\share\series... Not helpful.

  • Error Message When Importing Bookmarks From A Network Share

    An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.
    To replicate:
    The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.
    On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.
    Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?
    browser being run on windows 7:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
    browser being run on kubuntu 10.04:
    Firefox 3.6.8 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

    It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:
    error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.

  • Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

    Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
    I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
    My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
    The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
    So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
    Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
    They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
    those shares either.
    You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
    So...
    I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
    Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

    I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
    This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
    I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
    So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
    When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
    Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
    You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator  to request access.
    But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
    This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS. 
    I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

  • Can not print from network share.

    When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
    Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
    But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
    we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

    Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
    Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

  • Data Federator: Access Text file from secured Network Share or Sharepoint?

    Hi,
    I am using BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 2 - 12.2.2.0 (Build 1002172322) and I'm new to DF.
    I am trying to use the Text File Datasource type to connect to a file on a secured Network Share and from a Sharepoint 2010 document repository. Is this possible?
    I am currently able to use the Text File datasource to read a file from a public network share (
    share\public\folderpath\file) or on the local federator machine using the "Local File" connection but cannot put in a username/password for accessing a secure network share. Is there a built in DF username/password that should be granted access to the share?
    Neiher the FTP File System or SMB Share seemed like it would work here either.
    For the Sharepoint connection, I know that I can make a webservice on a list and connect DF to the webservice, but I want to just connect to the document repository. I was unable to get this to work even with Sharepoint repositories using WebDav since the Local File method did not accept the url string (http://mysite.<org>.com/personal/<user>/Shared Documents). Is there any way to do this without having to change the way the file is exposed on the Sharepoint side?
    How is this normally handled? Put the files on a unsecured network share or on the DF server? Import the files into a DB and just use DB connections?
    Finally, is there a way to import XLS/XLSX files in DF or only CSV files?  I saw DI has an Excel Adaptor but didn't see anything for DF and when I tried it either could not retrieve the XML schema or reading the file's data failed.
    Thanks alot for the help.
    Kerby

    Bump, any help here with Data Federator usage?  Sharepoint, XLS files, or using secured network share?

  • AppV 5: Sequence shortcut to application located on network share

    Hello,
    We have an application which is programmed to run directly from a network share.
    However, it needs some parts installed locally on the client too, to make it work.
    During sequencing using App-V 5.0, I installed the parts necessary on the client, and I created a shortcut to the network path e.g.: \\server\share\application.exe
    The sequencing process works fine, and the application gets published correctly to an App-V client.
    However, when launching the application we receive an error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000142). Click OK to close the application."
    In Event Viewer we notice following error in Applications and Services > Microsoft > AppV > Client > Virtual Applications: "The virtual applicatoin '\\server\share\application.exe' could not be started because the App-V Subsystem 'Virtual Shell'
    could not be initialized. {error:0x8DC02325-0x52E}"
    We notice that the sequenced application shortcut references: "\\server\share\application.exe  /appvve:557B23AE-4942-4E3E-BE5F-1DA010EA7DAE_C7B3C423-6E9A-4CE9-AC18-59C7F18F3FA1"
    When launching the application directly (\\server\share\application.exe - without appvve parameter) it works fine (but at that moment it's missing the locally installed client components).
    When running the same application with parameter 'appvve', it fails (error message above).
    When copying the application to a local drive, it does run succesfully when using the 'appvve' parameter, but unfortunately this is not a supported scenario for the application we're talking about. It has to be run from the network share.
    So am I correct to say that App-V does not support running an executable located on a network share in the virtual bubble? Are there any solutions/workarounds to make this work anyway?
    I tried mapping the network share to a drive letter, but that didn't help either.

    I have used a vbscript to start the exe from within the package, install whatever you need, then make the vbs in the installdir locally (c:)
    Dim objShell
    Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
    objShell.Run("K:\Whatever")
    Set objShell = Nothing
    Make a shortcut to the VBS and change the icon and stop the capture

  • Crashes when running applications from network share - "Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons"

    Hi,
    starting a couple of weeks ago, we get the following error(s) when running applications from a network share. We don't know what causes this, we are not aware of any major changes in our network infrastructure or client/Server configuration. We did upgrade
    a lot of machines to Windows 8, but the issue also occurs on older Win7 computers.
    We figured out a workaround though: The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share (like
    \\share.domain.Company.com) and only cause problems when running from
    \\share directly. They have worked fine for years without FQDN though.
    Any ideas?

    The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
    User Action
    1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
    2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
    - It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
    - It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
    3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
    4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
    5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

    Hi,
    >>The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share
    It sounds like a DNS suffix issue. When this issue occurs, please try to ping share on the client, then check if the corresponding IP address is correct. If the IP address is wrong, please adjust your settings of DNS to make sure that the client can resolve
    the share correctly.
    If it's very hard to change the settings of the DNS for some reason, as a work around, we can add the entry into the clients' hosts file.

  • Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

    Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
    ###Mapped drive letters don't work:
    1) navigate to a network share:
    pushd \\windows2008server\share\
    2) make a hardlink:
    mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
    dir .\test_sharedir
    #Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
    #File Not Found
    UNC paths don't work:
    1) navigate to a network share:
    pushd \\windows2008server\share\
    2) make a symlink:
    mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
    dir .\test_dirunc
    #Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
    #File Not Found
    I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
    Are my assumptions above correct?
    We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
    On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\).  I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
    "s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server].  How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hello Mandy,
    The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks.  I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
    To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
    You will see the following:
    I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD.  The CIFS server service does not appear
    to operate like this.
    1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
    2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
    Thanks for your time,
    Matt Brown
    [UPDATE]
    Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC.

  • Access Denied when trying to open a file that is encrypted on network share with EFS

    I just recently enabled EFS on the default domain policy and created a new network share, encrypted a file and added myself to that file and tried to open the file from my workstation.  I then receive an error "Access denied", I also tried
    to create a file and encrypt it on that same share and get an error "The requested operation cannot be completed.  The computer must be trusted for delegation and the current user account must be configured to allow delegation."  
    My steps.
    1. Enable group policy for EFS, removed the expired certificate that was already there and Created a new Data recovery agent.
    2. Created a network share, created a test file, enabled encryption on the file 
    3. certmgr.msc, personal and requested a new certificate, Basic EFS
    4. On the network share and properties of file, advanced, details and added the user
    5. from the workstation tried to access the file, Access Denied.  I can create any file I won't just can't add attributes to encrypt the file or open an encrypted file
    Now if I go to the server where the CA is located which is also the AD server and create share and run the same process it works as expected.  I'm guessing I have to export the cert from the CA server as a pfx and import that to both the server that
    has the network share and the workstation but that still doesn't seem to work.  Maybe I don't understand how EFS works and this is not possible?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You are correct in not understanding how EFS works.
    When you connect to an encrypted file via a network share, the encryption/decryption takes place *on* the server. To enable over the network access, the server's computer account must be trusted for delegation.
    The server actually impersonates the user and creates a user profile on the server (containing the defined EFS certificate and private key). The important thing to remember is that the files is transmitted in clear text from the server to the client.

  • Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

    Hi,
    I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
    and open it again ,it works fine.
    Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
           Network shared file and sometime locally
    Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
          it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
    Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
         Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
      Does the file have some macros?
     Yes, they have macros in some files 
    Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
           it happened before too.
    Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
    Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.
    Please suggest

    Hi Suren424,
    Since your first image showed that "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel." Please go to this path (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reports)
    to check the detailed information, and you might upload the screenshot or info here.
    Then, please try the following methods and check if they are helpful:
    1. File --> Options --> Advanced --> uncheck "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)"
    2. Turn off "Protected View"  --> (File –-> Options –-> Trust Center --> Protected View --> Uncheck all options
    3. I notice that >>Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013 <<, it also might be caused by the Microsoft Office File Validation for Office 2010, please try to change setting in server with

  • Multiple users accessing document on network share

    In our small office we have a couple of numbers douments that are regulary accessed and updated by 3 different people on three different machines, the numbers documents they access are stored on a network share on the Mac Server in the office.
    The problem we have is that all three able to open a file at the same time, obviously this is causing all sorts of isues. People losing data they have put into the file and also causes issues with someone being unable to save the file while someone else has it open.
    Surely there must be some sort of feature that when one person has the file open, its is locked for editing to everybody else that attempts to access it, I have searched around but cant seem to find anything to solve the problem. Anybody here have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Craig

    Once  a document is all set up, and then you are just making relatively minor edits, then you might find it useful to "share" it on iCloud and have everyone access it and edit it via Numbers on icloud.com rather than Numbers on the Mac.  That way you can all work on it at the same time without losing changes.

  • How to get "fast user switching" and network shares playing nice

    I've been alternating between banging my head against a wall and reading every forum I could find to try and get a reasonable compromise between using "Fast user switching" and sharing a folder from a file server.  It baffles me how the network share/mount model of OSX/AFP is completely killed by fast-user-switching; this is a big problem with Apple requiring users to be actively logged in to share music/video from iTunes which therefore essentially requires fast-user-switching if anyone else wants to use the computer.  (anyone find it odd that you can share files without being logged in, but sharing songs requires an active login for each user who is sharing?  Apple: time to make iTunes sharing a service!)
    For the sake of example, lets just say I want to share my /Groups folder from my desktop and have it be accessible to my laptop.  Here are all the things that I tried:
    Apple Method 1) Share /Groups in the Server.app on the desktop (running Lion Server), use finder on the laptop and drag the share icon to "Login Items", alternative use a startup Apple script using "mount volume"  Both of the options work and will mount the /Groups folder under /Volumes/Groups, of course when the second person logs in via fast-user-switching (and occasionally the first person for no apparent reason), they will get /Volumes/Groups-1 since /Volumes/Groups is already taken.  Tomorrow we log in a different order and now the previously /Volumes/Groups-1 user has their mount at /Volumes/Group and vice versa.  Any links, aliases, finder sidebar references, and application settings which pointed to yesterday's location are now BROKEN.  Not very user friendly to my mother-in-law who is trying to find those pictures of the kids and doesn't know anything about mount points. I also can't reasonably mirror the file location structure on the desktop so that application preferences that are synced between the two (portable home directories) work.   fail.
    Apple Method 2) Use automounter and set up by hand direct maps for /Groups or an indirect maps for the children of /Groups.  Now it will automatically get mounted to /network/servers/SERVER/Groups/ on the laptop and on the desktop it will automatically create a similar symlink structure so that the same path (/network/servers/SERVER/Groups) work both on desktop and laptop.  Cool.  Except when the second person logs in, the /network/servers/SERVER/Groups/ mountpoint is already owned by the first user and they don't have any permissions to access it.  Fail.
    Apple Method 3) Use mount_afs and specify directly the mount-points.  Have each user have their own startup AppleScript which mounts /Groups to a different location (e.g. /Users/Shared/username/Groups) that way they don't conflict with multiple users.  On the desktop, set up symlinks from /Users/Shared/username/Group to /Groups so that it will be the same as the client and applications settings will work when synchronized back/forth by portable-home-directories.  Will it work, yes it does, but what a bear to maintain.  Is this really what I should expect to do just to have multiple users on my desktop and laptop (which again is essentially required now if I want to do any type of iTunes sharing).  This can't be what apple expects.
    What I ended up doing - the "not quite apple" solution.
    Non-Apple Method 4) After a read of "Autofs: Automatically Mounting Network File Shares in Mac OS X" (http://images.apple.com/business/docs/Autofs.pdf) at the very end there is a single paragraph  of "Kerberized NFS": "A Kerberized NFS mount can have multiple connections from multiple users, each using the correct user’s credentials for each transaction. This allows administrators to support multiple users, each authenticated with their own credentials to the same mount point. This is very different from AFP and SMB mounts," (emphasis mine)
    It appears that by using good 'ole NFS (abeint with Kerberos for security!) you can actually have multiple users on the same mount point.  Roughly following the guidance at https://support.apple.com/kb/TA24986?viewlocale=en_US.  What I needed to do was:
    1) create /etc/exports on my desktop and add a single line "/Groups -sec=krb5".  The existence of /etc/exports triggered a start of nfsd which no longer has any GUI options in Lion.
    2) Add a line to /etc/auto_master on my laptop "/-  auto_mymounts" to reference a new direct map.
    3) Create /etc/auto_mymounts and add a single line "/Groups         SERVER:/Groups" to create the direct map.
    THAT'S IT.  Three lines in three files.
    Now when I log into my laptop, there is a /Groups that is a network mount of my desktop's /Groups, same location AND it works for all of my users, even simultaneously. 
    In the end I'm happy with what I've got, but man was this a difficult path just to support fast-user-switching.  In Lion, Apple appears to be getting away from NFS (no longer turned on by default and remove from the GUI controls) but clearly this really useful functionality which doesn't exist in AFP. 
    I'm really curious, after all this work.  Any other ways to accomplish this?

    In my example above, yes I chose to mount the share "Groups" to the top of the root since that is where I put it on my server and I wanted to keep them similar; but that was just my preference, it isn't a requirement.  You can export and mount from other directories.

  • Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share

    Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share
    I am having a problem opening any Office 2013 file when it is located on a network drive. I immediately get the error:  
    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
    . To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    . To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to."
    It only occurs when I try to access the file when it is stored on a network share. I cannot open any word, excel or PPT files located on my file shares.
    I am on Windows 8 (pro), part of a local domain based on Server 2003, and have administrator rights to the domain and the file share where the Excel file resides (and Word files -same problem). If I copy the file locally, I can either open
    it directly, or right-click, go to Properties and 'un-block' the file and then open it. But it is impractical to keep doing this, as I edit different files from the directory tree all day.
    I have bing'd and google'd this extensively, and the only answers I come up with do not work, such as going into the DCOM config system and changing the user from interactive to launching user, or vice versa, or even using a specific user - mine
    with the password. Since the product is so young there aren't a lot of posts on this, and nothing has improved the situation.
    Can you add any insight to this? I really want to use Office 2013, but this is such an obstacle I'm going to have to downgrade if this problem cannot be resolved. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
    Evan

    Dear Evan,
    If DCOM config solution did not work, I'd suggest narrow down the problem by trying to access another network share on another server, try to open an Office file there, do we still have the error? It could help us determine if the issue is on the client
    machine or the server side.
